Son Heung-min has again been linked to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The possibility was raised that Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in would share the same team at a club. Rumors of a transfer are reigniting as the contract with Tottenham Hotspur has been sluggish and the transfer conversation with other teams will be possible based on Boseman's rules on January 1, 2025.
"Son Heung-min, whose contract expires in June, has been selected as an option to reinforce PSG's offense," France's "Foot01" said on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time). It is not the first time that PSG and Son Heung-min have been connected. PSG has wanted Son for a long time. Luis Campos director and Nasser Al-Khelaifi chairman prefer Son because they think he can bring many things to the team."
"Son Heung-min has turned down PSG's offer because he wants to stay in the Premier League. Son may change his mind now. He is said to have plans to leave the Premier League now. It seems that Lee Kang-in can persuade Son to come to PSG. The possibility of Son moving to PSG is open, but he wants to discuss it with Tottenham for now," he said.
Son left Leverkusen for Tottenham in 2015. In his first season, he had four goals and one assist in 28 matches in the Premier League. He had 14 goals and six assists in 34 matches in the 2016-17 season, and when his official match record is added, he scored a total of 21 goals. Son, who flew in, displayed the best teamwork with Harry Kane in the history of the Premier League, leading to a revival of Tottenham.
Global soccer media "GoalCom" named Son the Premier League's best Eleven of the 2020s. According to the record set by "GoalCom," he had 17 goals and 10 assists in 37 matches in the 2020-21 season. In the 2021-22 season, he had 23 goals and 7 assists in 35 matches. He became the top scorer in the Premier League by scoring 23 goals. He had 10 goals and 6 assists in 36 matches in the 2022-23 season, and 17 goals and 10 assists in 35 matches in the 2023-24 season. In this season, he played in 16 matches, and successfully achieved five goals and six assists.
While playing for Tottenham for 10 years, he has scored 169 goals and 90 assists in 430 official matches. If limited to the Premier League, he has scored 125 goals and 68 assists in 319 matches. He is ranked as the fourth highest scorer in Tottenham history after Harry Kane, Jimmy Greaves, and Bobby Smith. He is also ranked as the most assists in Tottenham history, beating over Darren Anderton.
He scored five goals and six assists this season as well, and holds the highest average rating among Tottenham members based on the soccer statistics website "Huscoordcom." Tottenham is reluctant to accompany Son despite its excellent market value. It was expected that Son will be able to extend his contract by one year, but his contract with Tottenham is still valid only until the 2024-25 season.
Responding to Tottenham's attitude, podcast "Lily White Rose" host John Wenham said, "I don't know why Tottenham doesn't discuss a longer contract with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is a tremendous presence, the highest scorer every season, the club's captain, and his contribution is enormous. It's strange to hear that he will potentially move. It's better to extend the contract by one year and then sort out the situation."
Former Tottenham scout Brian King said, "It is a mistake for Tottenham to let Son go in January. He is the best and most loyal player in Tottenham, but I don't know what the situation is. I don't know why he wants to let Son go. The wise way is to renew the contract with Son," but Tottenham is maintaining its lukewarm attitude.
Former teammate Andros Townsend told the Mirror, "He is 32 years old now. Of course, he could physically decline, but he is still at the highest level. He has the best foot skills, excellent technique, 메이저사이트 sharpness, and can press like a beast when he does not own a ball. Son is well known to everyone. He is going through a bad time for a while, but he is normal. He is still a world class player and he is the same player we knew."
